I am surprised and not surprised at the same
time how well Loeb is doing in his first Dakar.

Robby Gordon said on camera he will have to
rethink his Dakar program and that he probably wont be
back next year. That Gordini just seems snakebit.
Moreover, you have to make a lot of really good
decisions all the time . Gordon did not make a good
decision in a giant mud hole (I think in stage 2) and last
year made a bad decision in some giant sand dunes.
Throw in a penalty or 2 and your Dakar is toast.
Baja 1000 and stadium trucks probably better suits his style.
